    New study led by South African scientists reveals how sea-ice #microbes survive the #SouthernOcean’s harsh winter, with implications for #climateChange
    This study further reinforces the importance of the Southern Ocean marginal ice zone as a critical hotspot for global #sulfur cycling where #biogeochemical processes for climate regulation are enhanced.

    "PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY: River floodplains are integrative ecosystems in which diverse processes operate together to maintain river health. Floodplains are as critical to river health as the channel itself, yet floodplains lack the legal protections afforded to river channels in many countries.
    KEY POINTS
    • A river floodplain is an integrative physical, chemical, biological system and a key component of a river corridor
    • Contemporary societal perceptions and regulatory frameworks do not reflect this scientific consensus...”

    “Biogeochemical” profiling reveals the impact of marine #heatwaves
    This #science depends entirely on autonomous “biogeochemical” profiling floats that drift and dive through the ocean, collecting data in near-real time as part of the U.S.-led Global Ocean #Biogeochemical (GO-BGC) Array, headed by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (#MBARI) in California.

  9. Read the latest special issue from Journal of Experimental Biology: The Integrative Biology of the Gut

    This issue considers the functional roles of the #gut, from the #cellular level to its interactions with other #organs and tissues, including its role in ecophysiological and #biogeochemical processes. It illustrates the function of the gut as a physiological nexus, reflecting a species’ evolutionary history while responding to and influencing environmental conditions.

  11. Just added to our Publications library (bit.ly/CZNBDPubLibrary).

    This chapter in 2023's Ecohydrological Interfaces describes the seamless continuum of hydrological and #biogeochemical conditions in #riparian zones which blur the line between #groundwater, the hyporheic zone, and surface stream water.

    This integration is crucial for the ecological integrity of water bodies, affecting everything from water temperature to #biodiversity.

  20. `We find that upper-#ocean dissolved iron #dynamics were decoupled from those of ligands, which necessitates a process by which dissolved iron escapes ligand stabilization to generate a reservoir of authigenic #iron particles that settle to depth. When this ‘colloidal shunt’ mechanism was implemented in a global-scale #biogeochemical model, it reproduced both seasonal iron-cycle dynamics observations and independent global datasets when previous models failed`

  25. Two consecutive days with #highlatitudedust activity in Patagonia result in a significant large #dust cloud certainly reaching the south central S. Atlantic. Note it is large in extension, but concentrations are just high for the area but low compared to lower latitudes.

  29. CW: Postdoc opportunity in oceanography

    We have a 3-year #postdoc position in #oceanography open for applications! We want someone to look into #biogeochemical cycling of #carbon and #nutrients at the North Sea-Atlantic #Ocean interface.

    We're looking for someone to start towards the end of 2023. Please share widely, and if you're interested, you are very welcome to get in touch for an informal discussion.

  30. @MPI_Meteo

    The most computationally expensive part of such models is the transport (by #advection and #diffusion) of #biogeochemical #tracers (zoo and #phytoplankton #nutrients, organic and inorganic #carbon, etc) with the #ocean #flow.

    The more tracers we include to represent the complexity of #ocean biogeochemistry, the slower are the model runs. Same problem arises when the #spatial #resolution of an #ESM increases.

    Biogeochemistry models can become a bottleneck in #ESM computations. 2/

  31. It is challenging to represent the #CoastalOcean #CarbonCycle in an #EarthSystemModel.

    Due to a relatively coarse spatial resolution, #global models do not resolve the complex coastal #biogeochemical dynamics. #Regional models don't get the open-coastal ocean exchange at their boundaries.

    Find out how we address this challenge with a telescoping #HighResolution #model:

  32. Yesterday evening a major #higlatitudedust event in #Patagonia, spanning +800km.

    This is an example on how #dust is generated in the Southern Hemisphere from one of the major dust sources. While not as a big producer as some regions in the N. Hemisphere, its location makes it important for #biogeochemical and #paleoclimate studies.
